All Sikh Gurus were from Khatri families. This is why Khatris still practise mixed traditions and are not rigidly Hindu/Sikh. You will find many Khatri Sikhs going to mandirs or celebrating Karva chauth etc and many Khatri Hindus going to gurdwara or doing kirtan or having Akhand paath at home or wedding as per Sikh rites.
Hindu and Sikh are different categories only now. Earlier, especially in Punjabis, the lines were blurred and there were lot of Hindu and Sikh weddings and often eldest son of every Hindu family was raised as a Sikh.
Lot of mixed Hindu and Sikh families or Sindhis going to gurdwaras exist till date. Especially in North India. Even in Pakistan, Nepal and Afghanistan, Hindus and Sikhs live quite similar to each other and quite together. Very common for Hindus and Sikhs to go to mandirs and gurdwaras in these nations also.
This is like reading too much about myself 😆
